Quest

My thousand year quest is finally over

But, sadly tomorrow all my work will be gone

I’ve poundered over and over

Exactly why I’ve tried for this so long

Searching for the answer

I looked into my soul

But, sadly all I found was dust and grime

I find I’ve wandered Earth’s paths an empty shell

All this time

I never really knew myself

You never really knew me

How can you know a faceless voice

My cold, dead hand

I’ve watched the sands of time pass

I’m a wordless page in Earth’s past

I’ve seen the quality of man

Slip away

I see now that my quest has been in

Vain
